I'll Remember For You
A daughter’s journey with her mom through dementia
Presented by Donna L. McGibney
Book Summary: Caregiving is a solo journey lived among thousands of others who are walking a similar road. Each journey is unique because each relationship between caregiver and the one needing the care is one of a kind. The roots go down deep and hold all the experiences, feelings, joys and sorrows that have happened within that relationship. Many people are familiar with the journey, but no one knows day in, day out what a caregiver is experiencing. We often become parents to our parents, with no manual to guide us.
Well-meaning friends may say, "I know exactly how you feel," but they cannot know exactly. No matter how well they know you, your loved one, your situation, they do not know everything this caregiving asks of you, demands of you.
Caregiving is a journey filled with loving and grieving. The caregiving journey has many vistas, but only one exit ramp: the death of the loved one. That is when the job we did not seek becomes the job we wish would not end.
About the Author: Donna is a Hallowell, Maine, native. With a 35-year career in education in both Maine and Florida, reading has been a major part of her life. During the years of caregiving for her Mom, it was a way to travel, to learn, and to find some quiet time.
This book captures her days as caregiver and offers hope and encouragement to others who are on a similar journey.
This program is free and open to all.
